I've spent the past four years trying to teach myself as much as I could about Computer Science. I would read articles and listen to podcasts but I always felt like there was something missing. It took a lot of time and frustration to figure out that I should be college bound or bust. Although four years may seem like a long time to wait to go to college, a lot of different factors weighed heavily on my decision. First, there was the fear of the unknown; then there were bills. I was convinced that I would never be able to put myself through college. It took four long years of working jobs I didn't like, in industries I didn't always approve of, to make myself take that crucial step and apply for college.
Going to college will provide me with choice. College offers a vast array of opportunities to grow and be a part of a community and I plan to take full advantage of that fact. Eventually, being a college graduate will mean that I can forge a better life for myself. It will mean that I can finally have the job I've been dreaming of. All of my hard work will open doors of opportunity that I never even imagined existed.
I've taught myself some basic html, and a few other things but nothing will be as valuable as being in a classroom and experiencing that feeling of elation as the pieces of the puzzle come together and you realize you've learned something new. This was something that no book, podcast, or website could give me.
I want to go to college to enhance my life experiences and gain a greater knowledge of the things around me. I want to be a part of a community, a social network that will link me to bigger and better things. College will inspire and motivate me. It will prepare me for the next chapter of my life and I am more than ready.
